Grange Fell Care Day

On 13 November 2013, the Lime Kiln Wood Trust took part in the Grange Fell Care Day, which was organised by Friends of the Lake District and a host of other local conservation organisations. We were blessed with about a dozen willing adult volunteers, plus a host of enthusiastic children from Lindale School, all ably coordinated by Richard Scott, Sally Varian, Adrienne King and Martin Wain. The volunteers tackled our third year coppice with enthusiasm, as well as pulling up stacks of unwanted beech seedlings. Many thanks to everyone concerned – it was a very successful day and well demonstrated how much one can do with well-organised volunteers. We hope this experiment will be repeated next year in collaboration with other woodland owners in the area including the Cumbria Wildlife Trust and the Forestry Commission.
